Renovations are well under way in our little café. Everything is so new and challenging but equally
exciting; from going over the plans with the architect to testing dishes and
imagining what the interior will look like once finished.
People always say that once you become your
own boss you no longer have a life of your own and I am experiencing this first
hand. Though in my previous employment positions I sometimes woke up early
morning (or even stayed up late at night) thinking of a case in the office, it
was more of an exception than a rule. Now the project is pretty much what I think
of when I wake up and before I sleep. Even when I am relaxing, the project is
at the back of my head (“what color combinations look good together?” “what is
the pricing or what are people lining up for?”). My husband on the other hand
is not at all in the same frame of mind, and I truly admire him for being able
to focus on a task at hand and then completely disconnect and relax a few hours
later. Truly an asset!
I still remember as early back as a year and a half ago
when we were colleagues and he used to coax me into this crazy idea of
relocating overseas and starting a business… and here I am now, getting a very “special”
physical exam at the City Health Department, a requirement for staff working in
the food and beverage industry!
